Affiliate wrap: Palasia eyes NRL after successful Cup return
Keenan Palasia will be hoping to rejoin the Titans NRL squad this week after successfully returning via the Hostplus Cup on Sunday.
Getting through 58 minutes in his first game back since a quad injury sidelined the Gold Coast forward on the eve of Round 4, it was a welcomed boost for coach Des Hasler who will relish the availability of the experienced recruit for this Sunday's clash against the Cowboys.
